Cancer treatment with Dr. Farshid Arbabi: precise and tailored to your disease
In cancer treatment, choosing a method is not enough on its own; in many cancers, the order and combination of methods affect the outcome. That is why, before treatment begins, pathology, imaging and tumor features are reviewed together, and each patient's treatment plan is designed individually with the surgeon and the care team.
Dr. Farshid Arbabi Kalati is a radiation oncologist who completed his residency at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. He works with both modern radiotherapy and drug therapies, so the treatment plan is built around the patient's needs rather than around a single method. His clinical focus is head and neck, breast and digestive cancers, and stereotactic radiosurgery, Gamma Knife and brain and spinal cord tumors are among his research areas.
Radiotherapy is a local treatment that targets the tumor in a specific area; drug therapies act throughout the body via the bloodstream. Which method, in what combination and in what order suits you is decided after reviewing your medical records. To learn about each method, open the page for that service.
Book a Visit
Choose a day and time that suit you. In-person visits are held on Saturdays, Mondays and Tuesdays from 2:10 to 6:15 PM. Please bring your pathology report, imaging and reports of any previous treatment.
Before booking, please read these points
Your appointment is for that day and time only
Your appointment is valid only for the date and time you selected and cannot be moved to another day.
Arriving very late may move your appointment
If you arrive significantly late, whether you are seen depends on the clinic’s situation that day, and you may be moved to another appointment.
No online visits
All appointments are in person. Phone and video visits are not offered. We will let you know when online consultations become available.
Details must be the patient’s own
The first name, last name and phone number must belong to the person being seen, not to a companion or whoever is making the booking.
Your appointment time is your arrival time
The time you book is when you arrive at the clinic, not necessarily when the visit starts. Please allow at least 30 minutes of waiting time.
Payments are non-refundable
Once the appointment is confirmed, the fee is not refunded under any circumstances if you cancel or do not attend.
Booking an appointment through this system means you have read and fully accept the terms below. Please read this text to the end before paying.
1. Scope of services
Dr. Farshid Arbabi – Radiation Oncologist – treats cancer patients after a definitive diagnosis has been made.
Initial cancer diagnosis is not part of this clinic’s services. If you have not yet received a definitive diagnosis, please complete the diagnostic process with the relevant physician first.
Dr. Shaghayegh Alam – Psychologist – provides counselling and psychological support sessions for patients and their companions. These sessions are not medical treatment and do not replace a visit with the oncologist.

Choosing the wrong appointment type means the allocated time will not match your actual needs. If this is your first visit, always choose «New patient», even if your file was opened with another physician.
3. Booking and payment
Your appointment is confirmed only after online payment is completed. Until then, the selected time is not reserved for you.
Payment is made through a secure bank gateway supervised by Shaparak. Your card details are never stored by this website.
If money is deducted without an appointment being issued, it is automatically returned to your account within 72 hours at most. Otherwise, please call the clinic.
An appointment tracking code is sent to you by text message. Please keep it until your visit.
4. Attending the clinic
Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment so that check-in can be completed.
The time on your appointment is your place in the queue, not necessarily the moment you enter the doctor’s room. Because of the nature of these illnesses, a previous patient’s visit may take longer than usual. Thank you for your patience.
Arriving more than 15 minutes late may mean losing your appointment; being seen will then depend on the clinic’s discretion and on available time that day.
5. Required documents
For new patients, bringing the following is mandatory:
Your complete medical file
All test results
Pathology and biopsy reports
Imaging (CT, MRI, PET scan) together with their reports
A list of the medicines you currently take
National ID card
Without these documents your file cannot be reviewed properly and the visit will not be useful. If necessary, the doctor may order some tests again to confirm the information.
For follow-up patients, the latest test results and current medicines are enough.
6. Cancelling or rescheduling
Up to 24 hours before your appointment you can cancel or reschedule it from your account on the website. In that case the full amount is returned to your account within 3 to 7 working days.
Less than 24 hours before, online cancellation is not possible and the payment is not refundable, because that time slot can no longer be offered to another patient.
Not attending without prior notice counts as a cancellation and the full amount is lost. After two missed appointments, online booking is blocked for your phone number.
7. Cancellation by the clinic
In unavoidable circumstances (the doctor’s illness, unexpected closure, force majeure) your appointment may be cancelled or rescheduled. You will be notified by text message and the full amount will be returned without any deduction, or, if you prefer, a replacement appointment will be given to you at the earliest opportunity.
8. Privacy and medical information
Your identity details and phone number are used only to manage appointments and send notifications, and are not shared with third parties.
Your medical information is covered by medical confidentiality and is not disclosed to anyone without your written consent or a legal obligation.
Notes you write in the comments field when booking are used only to prepare for your visit.
9. Remote medical advice
This system is only a tool for booking in-person appointments. No treatment advice, test interpretation or prescription is given through the website, text messages or social media. Any replies are general guidance and do not replace a visit.
10. Emergencies
If you are in an emergency situation, such as shortness of breath, bleeding, uncontrolled high fever or reduced consciousness, do not wait for an appointment. Call the emergency number 115 or go to the nearest medical centre.
